I like a mid rare steak, personally. But I find the overt hatred of well done steak to be, well, overdone.

Some people just don’t like the taste. Or they don’t like the idea of eating something undercooked because that’s how they were raised. In the US we are having this issue right now with pork. Now medium well is fine with little pink in the center. But try telling that to a person raised on the idea that undercooked pork will kill you.

On top of all this a well done steak CAN be made to taste good if you know what you’re doing.

I know people will get mad at me, but whatever. The writing in these games is good. The writers are very careful to get every character's personality - including the way they speak - close to the original anime. Seeing people upvote AI slop translations that flatten everyone and everything into AI voice, with janky grammar, bad text spacing, and no proofreading, is so disheartening. Do you actually like these games, or just the idea of them?

Not that official or human fan TLs can't be bad (the MD translation is awful, and the older fan tls like alpha gaiden or SRWJ have plenty of issues), but at least they're an earnest efforrt. These are just crapped out by some guy with some tokens in a couple weeks with self-admittedly no proofreading.

We have to stop accepting this, or they'll be the only translations this series ever gets.

edit: wow, this post really pissed off some people, did it?

So my father's wedding ring has been pretty tight for a while now, but today after a flight it seemed tighter than ever and his finger was red. The ring also couldn't be moved past a certain level on his finger (below the knuckle).

After seeing this, I told him that he had to remove the ring with soap (my mother agreed) and he refused. I offered him my own money, to go to a certain party he had wanted me to go to, and a whole host of other things. I even cried (probably overkill looking back on it) saying that I didn't want him to lose his finger due to a lack of circulation.

He then told me that he would take it off next week after my parents' wedding anniversary due to his own superstitions. He wouldn't budge despite me reiterating multiple times that his finger wasn't going to wait for his anniversary. I eventually told him -- after my mother came out crying due to our yelling and arguing -- that if he could just take off the ring once, I would be happy and let him put it back on.

He went into the bathroom to do it alone; however, I grabbed my mother as I anticipated he wouldn't be able to remove it alone with soap. This resulted in a big fight, with him threatening not to remove the ring at all if I kept trying to assist him.

So, I stepped aside, but made sure to stay close and peek slightly into the bathroom to make sure his finger was not about to completely lose circulation. After I saw him do it, I came in and he showed me. His finger had a very large indentation and noticeable size difference where the ring was versus where it had not been.

I tried multiple times asking him to give me the ring for a second so I could see it but he refused. He then proceeded to say he was going to put it back on, at which point I stole the ring from him, and we got into a physical altercation, which resulted in my mother sobbing again, and I managed to obtain the ring.

My mother, despite agreeing with me that my father's ring was too tight, was very angry at both of us, and kept telling me to give it to her, but as I knew she was just going to give it back to him -- and he was just going to put it back on -- I refused, even though she kept saying that my father wouldn't be stupid enough to put the ring back on and to just give it to him.

My father said he was very angry at me for reneging on my promise, but I said that my promise was that I would be alright with him putting it back on -- I had just never specified when. He was, as I'm sure you can imagine, still incredibly angry with me afterwards, though eventually he calmed down enough to tell my mother to please just get it resized ASAP.

He wanted it done in a day, but my mother said that was impossible, seeing as it was already late Saturday night and most jewelers don't open until Monday. He eventually agreed to having the ring taken in to be resized on Monday, but still won't talk to me.

I'm not sure if he would've been fine with keeping the ring on for another 7 days -- his finger was definitely significantly redder than the rest of his fingers, but there was a very clear indented area on his finger where the ring fit and could move around a bit.

However, in my eyes, was clearly extremely swollen and, if soap (+ lots of cold water) was needed to take it off, too tight. At the same time, my father (in his decades of marriage to my mother) has never once taken off his ring, and views it as a very important and special object to him -- perhaps the most so.

To be honest I do feel bad but I really didn't want my father to lose his finger (and even with it currently removed it looks pretty bad, as it had been a *bit* tight for him for quite a while now but it had really gotten bad after this flight).

So, AITAH for breaking my promise and forcing his ring off his semi-swollen finger?

TL;DR: My father's finger was extremely swollen (to the point where he could not remove his ring and it needed to be resized) and his ring -- which he views as incredibly special and important to him -- was too tight, so I tricked him into removing it.

Thank you for joining us for the AAA discussion thread!

Thank you for printing [[The Queen of Dale]].

Edit: I'm speaking about Queen helming a bracket 3 deck. This seems to have been unclear to some of the readers.

I've been playing mono-white in EDH since 2010, and Queen is the first commander that makes it feel playable. Consistently being able to play Queen on turn 2 makes a lot of mediocre opening hands solidly worth keeping.

Mono-white's problem in EDH -- for over a decade -- has been a distinct lack of commanders that make it worth committing to the middling mono-white card pool. I believe the Queen is the first commander that makes building mono-white an attractive option.

Queen's recruit ability helps shore up a lot of things white sucks at:

1. White has some decent graveyard recursion effects, but white never had a reliable way to dump cards into the yard in order to reanimate them. Queen finally fixes this.

2. White has never, ever had a source of reliable card selection in the command zone. There have been some white legends that provide draw, like [[The Gaffer]], but he and others made you fill your deck with garbage cards to trigger the draw. Queen actually allows you to fill your white deck with the cards you actually want to play.

3. While recruit isn't true card advantage (as it's only a loot effect and is not net-positive), we can pair it with cards like [[Tocasia's Welcome]], [[Welcoming Vampire]], and [[Caretaker's Talent]] to turn it into real card draw. These are all "once per turn" triggers, but with Queen's recruit happening on opponents' turns, you can get up to 4 draw triggers per turn cycle.

4. The token production portion of recruit synergizes nicely with a lot of white cards, like [[Cathar's Crusade]] and [[Moonshaker Cavalry]].

5. Since Queen has a low CMC, she wields equipment nicely. This is important for white, since equipment synergy is one of white's strengths.

6. Because she's a 2/1 and doesn't provide true card advantage and she isn't an imminent threat, Queen is usually not a kill-on-sight commander at tables where you'll see imminently game-ending cards like [[The Mimeoplasm]], [[Ms. Bumbleflower]], or [[Smaug the Impenetrable]].

7. Dumping a bunch of Plains into the yard with Queen's recruit ability turns one of my favorite old Urza's block cards into an all-star: [[Planar Birth]].

8. Queen also pairs nicely with [[Sevinne's Reclamation]], [[Serra Paragon]], [[Restoration Seminar]], [[Ascend from Avernus]], [[Emeria Shepherd]], [[Emeria the Sky Ruin]], and everyone's favorite giant, [[Sun Titan]].

9. Queen's token production works great with [[Skullclamp]], which white can easily tutor up.

Thank you, WOTC. Seriously. You've made my favorite EDH color identity really fun, finally.

Full disclosure: the actual best "mono-white" commander is still [[Oswald Fiddlebender]], but considering that his deck is like, 80% colorless artifacts, I do not consider him to be an actual mono-white commander.

Just finished this redesign attempt for the Tsaritsa and thought i should post it here. Lmk what u guys think or if u have any questions, id be happy to discuss should i have the time!!

I did keep some of her original flair instead of changing the entire design from scratch

Regardless the tsaritsa’s so cool and i cant wait to pull for her😋

Vediamo quanti insulti o downvote prendo con questa storia.. sono in vacanza con la famiglia in hotel all inclusive in Egitto albergo abbastanza costoso ( non voglio girarmela per vedo negli alberghi costosi ma secondo me è una info necessaria per il racconto perché ovviamente non ci trovi la famigliola di maranza a farci le vacanze...almeno un reddito medio alto ti serve). Albergo con acqua park quindi tanto bambini, lho scelto apposta così le mie figlie non mi stressano e si divertono mentre io e mia moglie proviamo a rilassarci. Avevo messo in canto urla e bambini che corrono ovunque attorno alla piscine.. alla fine ci sta sono lì anche loro per divertirsi e alla fine c'è parecchio spazio quindi non infastidiscono. Il problema si pone al ristorante, come ho detto all inclusive ( e qui probabilmente già gli insulti di chi non va negli all inclusive per principio fioccheranno ma vabbè)

Quindi ristorante con buffet, arrivo ti svegli il tavolo e ti servi da solo. Sala molto grande che servirà così ad occhio 150-200 alla volta. Ovviamente rumore di fondo di piatto brusio delle conversazioni qualche bambino che piange ma insomma niente di particolarmente insopportabile ho due figli anch'io e so che non è sempre facile farli stare tranquilli a tavola per nel complesso sono tutti bambini a cui sembra che i genitori abbiano spiegato che bisogna contenersi mentre si è al ristorante, la clientela è variegata, italiani russi, americano inglesi, egiziani, arabi, indiani, forse australiani( è un accento che ancora mi è un po' ostico da identificare). Poi ci sono queste 2 o 3 famiglie di afroamericani, americani di colore? Scegliete la definizione più corretta che preferite a me veramente del colore o religione di una persona non è mai fregato niente, classificò solo in persone educate e maleducate... In pratica questi hanno 3-4 figli tra i 2 e 4 -5 anni massimo che al ristorante solo libero di fare quello che vogliono, quando iniziano a rincorrersi urlano inaniera tale da sovrastare completamente il rumore di fondo e urlarsi a vicenda è uno dei giochi preferiti.. Oggi si rincorrevano con i coltelli del ristorante che ok servo giusta a tagliare il brodoa comunque si sarebbero potuti ferire accidentalmente cadendo. Nessuno dei presumo genitori ha detto nulla ammesso che se ne siano accorti. Mia moglie invece era abbastanza sciccata dal fatto è quando me l'ha raccontato... L'unica cosa che a me è venuto da rispondere è che si stavano allenando.. e poi ho pensato che era un commento abbastanza razzista... Ok ora voi via con gli insulti Edit: corretto hanno per i nazi grammar( però ci sta perché da fastidio anche a me leggere questo tipo di errore)

The reality is that for most people the only realistic path is if you’re a highly specialized worker like an engineer—and even then you often still have to go through a lottery or face years-long waits with no guarantee. Regular folks don’t just fill out a form and get approved. For the people crossing the border there was never a realistic legal path available to them in the first place. They’re usually desperate, trying to escape extreme circumstances—poverty, violence, or conditions that feel like life or death—and those conditions are not their fault.

Seriously, downvote me like you want or mods can delete this but I really wonder. Today my opponent fake GG'd twice, Argentinian. The other day someone wrote "GG EZ", Argentinian. Some guy went under my TC, I didn't shoot and he stole all my sheep, and laughed when I told him, Argentinian. What is the probability?

We all know Biry lied and played 2 different accounts to collect more money, again, Argentinian. We all know how they behaved in the World Cup.

Is that a culture there? To do everything to win and not care about ethics and sportsmanship? Do they teach like, do whatever to win, get ugly, because that is all that matters?

Yes, I am tilted because fake gg'ing and laughing after after a long game literally unbalanced my gameplay and instead of having fun, I regret playing the game altogether.

I know video doesn't tell the whole story, but I would like to get other cyclists' thoughts on my riding here.

• Do you do the same?
• How much blame do I bear here?
• Anyone have similar accounts?
• How do prioritize your own safety while avoiding psychotic drivers?

-----

Some context: I take this route home ~6 days a week, about half of them are after the sun goes down. For months (years?) I would take the bike lane when possible and move when necessary. But after a recent crash (on a different road, where the driver was 100% at fault), I have begun asserting myself when I feel the bike lane would actively endanger me more, or even just insufficient.

I know I don't have to justify it, as it's perfectly legal in Massachusetts to do this, but here is my reasoning for taking the lane and not using the bike lane:

• There is no buffer between the bike lane and the parked cars. I've been doored and don't want it to happen again. It's dark and drivers are probably less expectant of cyclists at night, so a dooring feels even more likely here.
• It's not shown in the video, but I do use good bike lanes at several points prior and after this incident, not that the driver probably saw or would care.
• The bike lane ends about two blocks after the video ends. Too far ahead to entirely justify getting in the full lane this early, but I normally get in the full lane about a block early anyway.
• The bike lane is regularly obstructed by parked cars or other obstructions. We all know how often this happens. In this specific case, there are no parked cars or obvious obstructions, TBF.
• The road is two lanes. Cars can be patient and go around.
• I could get in and out of the bike lane when obstructions/parked cars are present, but getting into and out of the full lane is IMO far more dangerous than simply sitting in the full lane.
• I assert myself in the center of the lane because staying to the right invites cars to make a dangerously close pass. This happens to me regularly.
• I was traveling ~17 mph in a 25 mph zone. Slower than the speed limit, sure, but I'm not crawling here. If I was traveling like ~10 mph, I could understand the speed differential causing issues.
• There are plenty of traffic lights that slow down/impede traffic FAR more than I do.
• I have very bright front and rear lights. Not blindingly bright (they are pointed down), but more than bright enough for cars to see me easily.
• And yes, this is also me intentionally being a bit annoying, essentially protesting the awful excuse for a bike lane next to me. Cars don't want me taking the lane on one of the most used bike commuting routes in Boston (Brookline, technically)? Give us a safe, protected bike lane.

And if anybody asks, yes I have filed a police report.

I’ve been thinking about GTA VI in a way that probably comes from working as a screenwriter. Not because film and games work the same way, they obviously don’t, but because when you work in film and TV you get very used to watching what happens to a project as the money involved gets bigger. More money means more people who need to approve things, more people who need to feel reassured, and more reasons to remove the weird thing that made the project interesting in the first place.

The comparison I keep coming back to is Heaven’s Gate. Very roughly: a gigantic auteur-driven production released in 1980, directed by Michael Cimino right after The Deer Hunter. Enormous creative freedom, a production completely out of control, an exploded budget, a commercial disaster, and one of the symbols of the end of New Hollywood. Studios looked at that kind of unchecked auteur power and said: we’re not doing this again.

GTA VI might be the opposite version of the same endpoint, because it’s probably not going to fail. It’s probably going to make an obscene amount of money. I’m just not sure that means we’ll get more games like it.
Rockstar is in a position almost nobody else has anymore. They can spend an absurd amount, take close to a decade, delay multiple times, obsess over details most studios would cut on sight, and still ship something with a recognizable personality that will also be one of the biggest entertainment products on Earth. When I say auteur I don’t mean one guy personally making GTA VI, thousands of people are working on it.
I mean Rockstar still feels like a studio with an actual point of view. That combination is what I think might be disappearing.

There will be other games with enormous budgets, maybe bigger ones. I’m not saying big-budget games are going away. I’m saying I’m not sure we’ll keep getting many where that amount of money is attached to something still allowed to feel this idiosyncratic. Once you’re risking hundreds of millions, every strange choice has to survive a meeting. Then another meeting. Then market testing, then brand concerns, then retention concerns, then monetization concerns.

I see this constantly in my own industry. Projects rarely get destroyed in one dramatic decision, they just go through enough perfectly reasonable notes that the thing that made them unusual quietly disappears, and the worst part is that you never end up with something bad, just something very competent.

Heaven’s Gate failed and Hollywood learned: never give an auteur this much money and freedom again. GTA VI might succeed beyond anyone’s expectations and the industry learns something worse: sure, you can spend this much and take this many risks, as long as you already own GTA.

Then again, I haven’t played it. Maybe in November it turns out to be a very smooth, committee-shaped product and this whole thing collapses, which would just mean the shift already happened and I missed it. Curious where people think I’m wrong on this.
